Fabulous Fun in the European Sun
Reviewed By David L. - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Valencia | Spain | Europe
Amanda created a custom Spain itinerary for my partner and me that hit Madrid, Valencia, and Mallorca. She balanced museums and food tours with beach days, and every hotel she chose felt both stylish and safe for us as a gay couple. We never had to guess which areas to avoid or where we’d feel comfortable holding hands.
